About

I am an award-winning journalist and communications professional with over 10 years’ experience producing and presenting news content in Zimbabwe and beyond. I have worked as a business reporter/producer and as an acting business lead, combining strong news judgment with clear scripting and strategic editorial planning.

I also bring a creative and digital-focused skill set to my work, including social media content production, research and interviewing, SEO and CMS editing, and high-impact script writing for TV, print, and digital platforms. I enjoy telling meaningful stories—especially around business, women in conflict situations, and community impact—while continuously developing my knowledge in areas like environmental journalism, data journalism, and media leadership.
